along In the best Of humor, although
they have been married msnyears. When
near their home they turned corner

further. The gentleman, getting down,
asoertsiDed that lot Of mesquite brush
had been cut from the chapparal along
the edge OF the roadway, which had
been piled directly across the road

obstruction was discovered 1t was re-
moved, but the gentleman was not sat-

put there so carefully, until he passed
the rear gallery of a residence situated
near that corner. Contrary to the usual
custom when the gentleman would come
spinning around the corner on his way
home late at night, he saw no one sit

all was dark. He says he has
several times surprised two lovers,

though whether cOachman or gentleman,
lady or maid, he can't say. He thinks,
however, that brush was cut and care

AN OPEN LETTER.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Augus

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, August II.
To my Friends:
In an issue of the Erie Press in June last
an article appeared handling me very rough
ly and charging me with being prOhibitiOnist
and with assOciating and affiating with that
party, which was a wilful and malicious false
hood from beginning TO end. This batch of
falsehoods was furnished the Erie Press by
"Superanuated Old Crank "
1t has been my intention to treat the article
with silent contempt, but rs ] have Il large
circle of friends and acquaintance, both here
and In New Braunfes, who have read the arti-
Gle, and are continually questioning me in re-
gard to il, have concluded to make Il brief
statement of facts which led to the manutac-
ture of this batch of lies by this irresponsible
old crank, Graebner.
In the first place, am not, | never was,
and never intend to be-"a prOhibtiOniSt;"
and anyone that has been acquainted with me
any length of time knows il.
The facts in the case are as follows: ] am n
member of Il club called THE Young Peoples
Pleasure Club" and was authorized by the
president to rent hall for us to meet in.
| rented hall for that purpose" of Mr..
Graebner, paid him the rent and took his re-
ceipt for the same.
The first two nights we were to hold our
meetings, the weather was such that we did
not meet. Before the time came around for
our third meeting, party of prOhbitOnists
called on our president, Mr.. Stapp. and
rented the hall from him and held
prohibition meeting in il with
out my knowledge or consent As
soon as | heard of it went to Mr. Graeb-
ner and denounced the whole proceeding
and denied" any 'cOmpcty" in the affair
He would not listen to any statement from
me. but "struck out" in hot haste" for the
Erie Presse Office, and unburdened his mind
of a "cart load" of Lies" which was published
in that paper
After G raebner had done all this, | again
went to him and made another plain state
ment of the facts of the truth of which he
was satisfied, and asked me to excuse HIM for
his hasty act He also promised me to pub
fish "a correction in the Erie Pressc" all of
which he has failed to do.
In the meantime ! have waited long and
patiently for him to keep his word. To ave 4

from both friend and foes, charging me with
being Il prOhibtiOnist, until patience has
ceased to be virtue, and ! have been com
